lodgings the French king to the house of S. Paule and the king line 10 of England to the castell of Louer The next daie the two queenes made their entrie and were receiued with like solemnities as their husbands were the day before During all the season that these two kings laie in Paris there was a great assemblie called as well of the spiritualtie as of the nobles of the temporaltie in the which the kings sat as iudges before whom the duches of Burgognie by hir proctor appealed the Dolphin and seauen other for the murther of duke Iohn hir husband line 20 To the which appeale the counsell of the other part made diuerse offers of amends as well of foundations of chantries for préests to praie for the soule as recompense of monie to the widow and children for the finall determination whereof the kings to take further aduise and counsell therein appointed another daie At this same time the thrée estates of the realme of France assembled at Paris and there euerie person seuerallie sware vpon the holie euangelists to keepe support mainteine and defend the treatie and line 30 finall accord which was concluded betwéene the two kings and thereto euerie noble man spirituall gouernour and temporall ruler set to their seales which instruments were sent to the kings treasurie of his eschecker at Westminster safelie to be kept where they yet remaine The French king at the same time being in good and perfect state of health openlie there in parlement declared that peace was concluded accorded and made by his frée assent and with the aduise line 40 of all the councell of France and that he would for his owne part and that his successors ought for their parts obserue and kéepe the same with all the articles therein conteined And likewise that all his subiects were bound for euer to obserue and kéepe the same without breaking or dooing anie thing preiudiciall therevnto During the time that the two kings thus soiourned in Paris the French king kept a small port verie few and those of the meaner sort resorting vnto line 50 his court but the king of England kept such a solemne state with so plentifull an house and shewed himselfe so bountifull in gifts and setting foorth of warlike shewes and princelie pastimes that all the noble men and other resorted to his palace to see his estate and to doo him honor He tooke vpon him as regent of France to redresse causes remooue officers reforme things that were amisse and caused a new coine to be made called a salute wherein were the armes of France and the armes of England and line 60 France quarterlie stamped Also to set all things in quiet he constituted sir Gilbert Umfreuile capteine of Melun with a good number of valiant soldiers to remaine there in garrison and the earle of Huntington coosine germane to the king was deputed capteine at Blois de Uincenes and the duke of Excester with fiue hundred men of warre was assigned to keepe Paris Thus had king Henrie when he was constituted gouernour of the land the disposing of prouinces townes and castels at his pleasure and the making of lawes and ordinances standing with the drift of his policie to kéepe both people in due obedience as Anglorum praelia bréefelie noteth saieng Rectorem patria postquam rex Gallus omnes Vnanimes proceres Henricum constituerunt Plantageneta dabat princeps iam iura duabus Gentibus effraenes ductis cohibebat habenis The duke of Bauier about the same time with the kings licence departed into his countrie both he and his retinue receiuing large gifts of the kings great liberalitie and amongst other things the king gaue him a cup of gold garnished and set with pretious stones of great price and value Moreouer he had a pension giuen him of a thousand markes by yeare vnder the kings letters patents to be had and receiued of the kings frée and liberall grant during the life of the said duke A right roiall reward worthie the maiestie of a king bestowed vpon the said duke and his retinue partlie in respect of the aliance betwixt the king and him for he had maried the kings sister but speciallie for the notable seruice which they did him at the siege before Melun So that hereby is commended vnto vs an example of gratitude and beneficence teaching vs that to such as haue béene good and gratious vnto vs we should be alwaies forward with a right hand and readie mind to make amends in some proportion and measure When the king had thus ordered his businesse he with the quéene his wife the princes year 1421 nobles of the realme departed from Paris the sixt of Ianuarie and came to Rone but first before his departing he caused processe to be made and awarded foorth against Charles the Dolphin commanding him to appéere at the marble table at Paris where for lacke of appearance he was with all solemnitie in such case requisite denounced guiltie of the murther and homicide of Iohn duke of Burgognie and by the sentence of parlement banished the realme but the Dolphin withdrew into Languedoc and after to Poictiers getting to him such fréends as he could and namelie he found the earle of Arminacke verie faithfull to him not onelie aiding him with men but also with his owne person he continuallie serued him against all his aduersaries The king of England comming to Rone soiourned there a certeine time and receiued the homage of all the nobles of Normandie amongst whome the earle of Stafford did homage for the countie of Perch and Arthur of Britaine likewise for the countie of Yurie He also ordeined his lieutenant generall both of France and Normandie his brother Thomas duke of Clarence and his deputie in Normandie was the earle of Salisburie When the feast of Christmasse was passed he departed from Rone with the quéene his wife and by Amiâ—ns came to Calis where he tooke ship the morow after Candlemasse daie and landed at Douer and came to Canturburie and from thence to Eltham and so through London to Westminster I passe ouer to write what ioy and triumph was shewed by the citizens of London and of all other his subiects in euerie place where he came The king himselfe to render vnto God his most humble hartie thanks caused solemne processions to be obserued and kept fiue daies togither in euerie citie and towne After that doone he made great purueiance for the coronation of his quéene spouse the faire ladie Katharine which was doone the daie of S. Matthew being the twentie fourth of Februarie with all such ceremonies and princelie solemnitie as apperteined Which because it was full of roialtie and honour the qualitie of the principall personages requiring no lesse and recorded by writers of former ages it séemeth necessarie and conuenient in this place to report it in such sort as it is found at large in some though others

apprehended as Walter de Lacie and manie other At length comming into the countrie of Meth he besieged a castell wherein the wife of William de Breuse and hir sonne named also William were inclosed but they found means to escape before the castell was woone though afterward they were taken in the I le of Man and sent by the king into England where they were so straitlie kept within the castell of Windsor that as the fame went they were famished to death ¶ We read in an old historie of Flanders written by one whose name is not knowne but printed at Lions by Guillaume Rouille in the yeare 1562 that the said ladie wife to the lord William de Breuse presented vpon a time vnto the queene of England a gift of foure hundred kine and one bull of colour all white the eares excepted which were red Although this tale may séeme incredible yet if we shall consider that the said Breuse was a lord marcher and had goodlie possessions in Wales and on the marshes in which countries the most part of the peoples substance consisteth in cattell it may carrie with it the more likelihood of truth And suerlie the same author writeth of the iournie made this yeare into Ireland so sensiblie and namelie touching the manners of the Irish that he seemeth to haue had good informations sauing that he misseth in the names of men and places which is a fault in maner common to all forreine writers Touching the death of the said ladie he saith that within eleuen daies after she was committed to prison héere in England she was found dead sitting betwixt hir sonnes legs who likewise being dead sate directlie vp against a wall of the chamber wherein they were kept with hard pitance as writers doo report William the father escaped and got away into France Thus the more part of the Irish people being brought vnder he appointed Iohn Gray the bishop of Norwich to be his deputie there remoouing out of that office Hugh Lacie which bare great rule in that quarter before The bishop then being appointed deputie and cheefe iustice of Ireland reformed the coine there causing the same to be made of like weight and finenesse to the English coine so that the Irish monie was currant as well in England as in Ireland being of the like weight forme and finenesse to the English Moreouer those that inhabited the wood-countries and the mounteine places though they would not as then submit themselues he would not at that time further pursue bicause winter was at hand which in that countrie approcheth timelie in the yeare Hauing thus subdued the more part of all Ireland and ordred things there at his pleasure he tooke the sea againe with much triumph and landed in England about the thirtith day of August From hence he made hast to London and at his comming thither tooke counsell how to recouer the great charges and expenses that he had béene at in this iournie and by the aduise of William Brewer Robert de Turnham Reignold de Cornhill and Richard de Marish he caused all the cheefe prelats of England to assemble before him at S. Brides in London So that thither came all the abbats abbesses templers hospitallers kéepers of farmes and possessions of the order of Clugnie and other such forreners as had lands within this realme belonging to their houses All which were constreined to paie such a greeuous tax that the whole amounted to the summe of an hundred thousand pounds The moonks of the Cisteaux order otherwise called white moonks were constreined to paie 40 thousand pounds of siluer at this time all their priuileges to the contrarie notwithstanding Moreouer the abbats of that order might not get licence to go to their generall chapter that yéere which yeerelie was vsed to be holden least their complaint should mooue all the world against the king for his too too hard and seuere handling of them In the summer following about the 18 day of Iulie king Iohn with a mightie armie went into Wales and passing foorth into the inner parts of the countrie he came into Snowdon beating downe all that came in his way so that he subdued all the rulers and princes without contradiction And to be the better assured for their subiection in time following he tooke pledges of them to the number of 28 so returned to Album Monasterium on the daie of the Assumption of our ladie from whence he first set foorth into the Welsh confines In the same yeare also the pope sent two legats into England the one named Pandulph a lawier and the other Durant a templer who comming vnto king Iohn exhorted line 10 him with manie terrible words to leaue his stubborne disobedience to the church and to reforme his misdooings The king for his part quietlie heard them and bringing them to Northampton being not farre distant from the place where he met them vpon his returne foorth of Wales had much conference with them but at length when they perceiued that they could not haue their purpose neither for restitution of the goods belonging to préests which he had seized vpon neither of those that apperteined to line 20 certeine other persons which the king had gotten also into his hands by meanes of the controuersie betwixt him and the pope the legats departed leauing him accursed and the land interdicted as they found it at their comming ¶ Touching the maner of this interdiction there haue béene diuerse opinions some haue said that the land was interdicted throughlie and the churches and houses of religion closed vp that no where was anie diuine seruice vsed but it was not so streit for there line 30 were diuerse places occupied with diuine seruice all that time by certeine priuiledges purchased either then or before Children were also christened and men houseled and annoiled through all the land except such as were in the bill of excommunication by name expressed But to our purpose King Iohn after that the legats were returned toward Rome againe punished diuerse of those persons which had refused to go with him into Wales in like maner as he had doone those that refused to line 40 go with him into Scotland he tooke now of ech of them for euerie knights fée two marks of siluer as before is recited About the same time also Reginald earle of Bullongne being accursed in like maner as king Iohn was for certeine oppressions doone to poore men and namelie to certeine preests fled ouer into England bicause the French king had banished him out of France The chéefest cause of the French kings displeasure towards this earle may séeme to proceed of the line 50 amitie and league which was concluded betwixt king Iohn and the said earle in the first yeare of the said kings reigne whereby they bound themselues either to other not to make anie peace or to take anie truce
the middest of Maie the king tooke the sea togither with the queene his wife his brother Richard earle of Cornewall and seauen other earles and about three hundred knights or men of armes The Poictouins had written to him that he néeded not bring ouer with him any great armie of men but rather plentie of monie to reteine such as he should find there readie to serue him at his comming Wherevpon he tooke with him thirtie barrels of sterling coine and at length but not without contrarie winds he arriued on the coast of Gascoine in the mouth of the riuer of Garon and taking land was ioifullie receiued of the people and namelie of Reignold lord of Pons The French king aduertised that the king of England was come ouer into France to the aid of the earle of March and other his subiects against him prepared a mightie armie in the which were reckoned to be to the number of foure thousand men of armes well prouided and armed at all points besides twentie thousand esquires gentlemen yeomen and crossebowes and with the same immediatlie he entred the dominions of the earle of March and tooke from him diuerse townes and castels as Fountney wherein he tooke one of the earls sonnes also Meruant with diuers other In the meane while the king of England was aduanced forward and come neere vnto Tailborge lieng with his armie in the faire medow by the riuer side of Charent fast by the castell of Thonay he had there with him in campe sixtéene hundred knights or rather men of armes and twentie thousand footmen with seauen hundred that bare crossebows He made there his two halfe brethren the sonnes of the earle of March knights and gaue to the one of them fiue hundred marks and to the other six hundred marks yearelie to be paid out of his escheker till he had otherwise prouided for them in lands and reuenues equall to that pension Now the French king being aduertised that king Henrie laie thus néere to Tailborge marched thitherwards with all his puissance latelie reenforced with new supplies and approching to Tailborge had the towne deliuered vnto him This chanced about the latter end of Iulie Then after the French king had gotten possession of Tailborge he ment to passe the water and if by mediation of a truce politikelie procured by the earle of Cornewall and as it were at a narrow pinch the king of England had not found means to remooue in the night season he had béene in great danger to haue beene taken through want of such aid as he looked to haue had at the hands of the Poictouins and other his confederats But yet he got awaie though with some staine of honour and withdrew to Xainctes whither also the French king folowed and comming néere to the towne there was a sharpe incounter begun betwixt the French and the English wherein the Englishmen were victors and in which by the Frenchmens owne confession if the English power had béene like to theirs in number they had fullie atchiued the honour of a foughten field and for a light skirmish a sound and perfect victorie The high prowesse and valiancie of the earles of Leicester Salisburie Norfolke with other Noble men as Iohn de Burgh Warren de Mount Chenill or Cheincie Hubert Fitz Matthew 〈…〉 Fitz Nicholas did in this 〈◊〉 right well â—ppearâ— and likewise other of the English nation bare themselues so manfullie that they deserued no small commendation Amongst other also sir Iohn Mansell the kingâ—â—â—apleine and one of his priuie couâ—cell did right worthilie taking prisoner with his owne hands one Peter Orige a gentleman in good place There was moreouer taken on the French pace sir line 10 Iohn de Barris a man of good accompt by William de Sey beside sundrie others On the English part was slaine Gilbert de Clare and Henrie Hasting taken prisoner with other to the number of twentie knights or men of armes if I may so call them After this incounter by reason the French armie increased by new bands still resorting to their king the earle of March secretlie sought meanes to be reconciled vnto him and finallie by the helpe of the duke of Britaine his old acquaintance and fréend at line 20 néed his peace was purchased so that he had his lands againe to him restored except certeine castels which for further assurance the French king reteined in his hands by the space of thrée yeares The king of England perceiuing himselfe too too much deceiued in that he had put such confidence in the earle of March and others of that countrie which should haue aided him at this present and againe aduertised that the French king meant to besiege him within the citie of Xainctes departed with all spéed from thence line 30 and came to Blaie a towne in Gascoigne situat néere to the riuer of Garon distant seuen leagues from Burdeaux Now whilest he laie here at Blaie there came vnto him the countesse of Bierne a woman monstruous big of bodie bringing with hir to serue the king hir sonne and three score knights in hope to get some of his sterling monie whereof she knew him to haue plentie and so couenanting for hir interteinment remained still with him and receiued euerie line 40 daie 13 pounds sterling and yet she neuer pleasured him the woorth of a groat but rather hindered him in making him bare of monie which she receiued purssed vp and tooke awaie with hir when she departed from him But if to hir making and stature she had bin indued with the courage of Uoadicia whom she exceeded as it should soome in proportion or with the prowesse of Elfleda hir seruice had béene no lesse beneficiall to the K. than anie skilfull capteins marching vnder his banner So that we sée in this woman line 50 a desire rather to satisffe hir hydropicall humor of couetousnesse than anie true affection to set forward the kings affaires therefore it may well be said of hir in respect of hir greedinesse to get from the king for hir owne commodities sake that she was Vt mare quod das deuorat nunquam abundat Nunquam rependit In the meane time the lords de Pons Mirabeau and Mortaigne suddenlie reuolted submitted themselues to the French king with the vicount of Towars line 60 and all other the lords and knights of Poictou and the marches therabouts that not long before had procured king Henrie to come ouer to their aid The citie of Xainctes was likewise rendred to him immediatlie vpon king Henries departure from thence At which season the French king meant to haue followed him to Blaie but by reason of a great death which chanced in his armie he was constreined to alter his purpose Suerlie as authors haue recorded what through pestilence and vnwholesomnesse of the aire a great manie of Frenchmen died at that time and dailie more fell sicke The number
wheras it had stood with his roialtie to haue giuen them the counterchecke and in angrie mood to haue tamed their malapertnesse but that he prouidentlie considered that parit ira furorem Turpia verba furor verbis ex turpibus exit Rixa ex hac oritur â—ulnus de vulnere lethum patientia virtus Qua quicúnq caret careat probitate necesse est Qui nil ferre pâ—test hominum commercia vitet About the same time by reason that the sterling monie was generallie so clipped that the inscription was cut off for the most part euen to the inner circle a proclamation was set foorth that no péeces thereof should passe from one to an other nor be receiued as currant and lawfull monie except the same were of iust weight and fashion Herewith also inquirie was line 10 made for those that had so defaced it and sundrie Iewes bankers and cloth-merchants of Flanders were found giltie Also the French king caused serch to be made within his realme for the same offendors and such as were found giltie were hanged so that he was more seuere in punishing those falsifiers of the king of Englands coine than the king of England was himselfe The parlement began againe at the day appointed line 20 but nothing to accompt of was then concluded but rather a displeasure kindled betwixt the king and his barons for that they looked for a reformation in his dooings and he for monie out of their coffers which would not be granted and so that parlement brake vp The king herevpon for want of monie was driuen to so hard a shift that he was constreined to sell his plate and iewels which the Londoners bought so much to his hinderance that diuers péeces the workemanship whereof was more woorth than the value of the stuffe were sold notwithstanding after line 30 the rate as they weied This yeare the king caused a faire to be kept at Westminster at saint Edwards tide to indure for fiftéene daies and to the end that the same should be the more haunted with all manner of people he commanded by proclamation that all other faires as Elie and such like holden in that season should not be kept nor that any wares should be shewed within the citie of London either in shop or without but that such as would sell should come for that time vnto line 40 Westminster which was doone not without great trouble and paines to the citizens which had not roome there but in booths and tents to their great disquieting and disease for want of necessarie prouision being turmoiled too pitifullie in mire and dirt through occasion of raine that fell in that vnseasonable time of the yeare The bishop of Elie complained sore of the wrong doone to him by suspending his faire at Elie aforesaid line 50 Sir Richard Sward died this yeare after he had laien a long time vexed with the palsie which sir Richard had in his daies beene a right worthie and famous knight There died also the bishops of Bash and saint Dauids In the first day of Iune the moone immediatlie vpon the setting of the sunne was almost wholie eclipsed so that little of hir might appeare The towne of Newcastell vpon Tine was almost wholie consumed with fire togither with the bridge there The archbishop of Canturburie remaining line 60 still with the pope by his procurator the deane of Beauueis denounced all them accurssed which went about to impeach him of receiuing the first fruits of benefices that voided which he had by the popes grant the king and quéene with their children and the kings brother the earle of Cornewall onelie excepted out of that cursse There chanced another earthquake foure daies before Christmasse namelie in the west countrie about Bath and Welles which shooke and ouerthrew some buildings speciallie the tops and summets of stéeples turrets and chimnies were shaken therwith and not the bases or lower parts ¶ In Christmasse following year 1249 the earle of Leicester returned out of Gascoigne where he had béene as generall against Gaston de Bierne whome he had so afflicted and put to the worse that the same Gaston was glad to sue for an abstinence of warre where before he had doone much hurt to the kings subiects The said earle had also with the aid of the kings subiects apprehended an other rebell one William Berthram de Egremont who had doone much hurt in the parts of Gascoigne and in the confines there whome he had left in prison within the castell of the Rioll This yeare a little before Candlemas the bishop of Durham being a man of great yeares by licence obteined of the pope resigned his miter reseruing to himselfe onelie thrée manors Houeden with the appurtenances Stocton and Euerington The king hauing the last yeare receiued of his subiects a deniall of a generall subsidie to be granted him practised this yeare to get some reléefe at their hands in calling each of them apart but first he got two thousand marks of the citie of London and after fell in hand with the abbats and priors of whome he got somewhat though sore against their willes By occasion of two merchant strangers of Brabant which chanced to be robbed about the parts of Winchester whilest the king was there vpon their importunate suit and complaint there was a great nest of theeues broken amongst the which were manie wealthie persons and freeholders such as vsed to passe on life and death of their owne companions to whom they were fauourable inough you may be sure also there were some of the kings seruants amongst them About thirtie of those offendors were apprehended and put to execution besides those that escaped some into sanctuarie and some into voluntarie exile running out of and vtterlie forsaking the countrie About Easter the archbishop of Rone came ouer into England and dooing homage for such reuenues as belonged to his church here within this realme had the same restored vnto him In Iune there fell such abundance of raine speciallie about Abington that the willow trées milles and other houses standing néere to the water side were borne downe and ouerturned with one chapell also and the corne in the field was so beaten to the ground that bread made thereof after it was ripe seemed as it had beene made of bran About the same time William de Longespée earle of Salisburie and Robert de Uéer with other Englishmen to the number of two hundred knights hauing taken on them the crosse went into the holie land the said earle being their chéefe capteine and had so prosperous speed in their iornie that they arriued safe and sound in the christian armie where the French king being chéefe thereof they were receiued ioifullie But yet as Matthew Paris writeth the pride and disdaine of the Frenchmen was so great that vpon spite and enuie conceiued at the Englishmens glorie which bare themselues right

These were sworne of the kings councell and charged with the gouernement as they would make answer But this ordinance continued not long for the quéene and the lord Roger Mortimer tooke the whole rule so into their hands that both the king and his said councellors were gouerned onelie by them in all matters both high and low Neuerthelesse although they had taken the regiment vpon them yet could they not foresee the tumults and vprores that presentlie vpon line 40 the yoong kings inthronizing did insue but needs it must come to passe that is left written where children weare the crowne beare the scepter in hand Vaepueri terrae saepissimè sunt ibi guerrae He confirmed the liberties and franchises of the citie of London and granted that the maior of the same citie for the time being might sit in all places of iudgement within the liberties thereof for cheefe iustice aboue all other the kings person onelie excepted and that euerie alderman that had béene maior line 50 should be iustice of peace through all the citie of London and countie of Middlesex and euerie alderman that had not béene maior should be iustice of peace within his owne ward He granted also to the citizens that they should not be constreined to go foorth of the citie to anie warres in defense of the land and that the franchises of the citie should not be seized from thenceforth into the kings hands for anie cause but onelie for treason and rebellion shewed by the whole citie Also Southwarke was appointed to be vnder the rule of the citie and the maior of London to be bailiffe of Southwarke and to ordeine such a substitute in the same borough as pleased him In the first yeare of this kings reigne we find in records belonging to the abbeie of S. Edmundsburie in Suffolke that the inhabitants of that towne raised a sore commotion against the abbat moonks of the same abbeie and that at seuerall times as first on the wednesdaie next after the feast of the conuersion of S. Paule in the said first yeare of this kings reigne one Robert Foxton Richard Draiton and a great number of other assembling themselues togither in warlike order and araie assaulted the said abbeie brake downe the gates windowes and doores entered the house by force and assailing certeine moonks and seruants that belonged to the abbat did beat wound and euill intreat them brake open a number of chests coffers and forssets tooke out chalices of gold and siluer books vestments and other ornaments of the church beside a great quantitie of rich plate and other furniture of household apparell armour and other things beside fiue hundred pounds in readie coine also three thousand florens of gold All these things they tooke and caried awaie togither with diuerse charters writings miniments as thrée charters of Knute sometime king of England foure charters of king Hardiknute one charter of king Edward the confessor two charters of king Henrie the first other two charters of king Henrie the third which charters concerned as well the foundation of the same abbeie as the grants and confirmations of the possessions and liberties belonging thereto Also they tooke awaie certeine writings obligatorie in the which diuerse persons were bound for the paiement of great summes of monie and deliuerie of certeine wines vnto the hands of the said abbat Moreouer they tooke awaie with them ten seuerall buls concerning certeine exemptions and immunities granted to the abbats and moonks of Burie by sundrie bishops of Rome Furthermore not herewith contented they tooke Peter Clopton prior of the said abbeie and other moonks foorth of the house and leading them vnto a place called the Leaden hall there imprisoned them till the thursdaie next before the feast of the Purification of our ladie and that daie bringing them backe againe into the chapter-house deteined them still as prisoners till they had sealed a writing conteining that the abbat and conuent were bound in ten thousand pounds to be paid to Oliuer Kempe and others by them named And further they were constreined to seale a letter of release for all actions quarels debts transgressions suits and demands which the abbat might in anie wise claime or prosecute against the said Oliuer Kempe and others in the same letters named For these wrongs and other as for that they would not permit the abbats bailiffes and officers to kéepe their ordinarie courts as they were accustomed to doo as well thrée daies in the wéeke for the market to wit mondaie wednesdaie and fridaie as the Portman mote euerie tuesdaie thrée wéeks line 10 and further prohibit them from gathering such tols customes and yearelie rents as were due to the abbat for certeine tenements in the towne which were let to farme the abbat brought his action against the said Foxton Draiton and others and hauing it tried by an inquest on the fridaie next after the feast of saint Lucie the virgine in a sessions holden at Burie by Iohn Stonore Walter Friskney Robert Maberthorpe Iohn Bousser by vertue of the kings writ of oier and determiner to them directed line 20 the offendors were condemned in 40000 pounds so that the said Richard Draiton and others there present in the court were committed to prison in custodie of the shiriffe Robert Walkefare who was commanded also to apprehend the other that were not yet arrested if within his bailiwike they might be found and to haue their bodies before the said iustices at Burie aforsaid on thursdaie in Whitsunwéeke next insuing Beside this there was an other
the countie of Kent began an insurrection in disobedience of the statute of labourers and were atteinted therfore of high treason and had iudgement line 40 to be drawne hanged and quartered He shewed where and when this chanced It was further determined by the said Fineux and all the iustices of the land that vpon the said commission of oier and terminer in London the iustices named in the said commission might not arreigne the offendors and proceed to the triall in one selfe daie no more than might the iustices of peace But iustices in oier might so doo aswell as the iustices of gaole deliuerie and as the sufficiencie of the iurors within the citie line 50 to passe betwixt the king and the said traitors the iustices determined that he that had lands and goods to the value of an hundred marks should be inabled to passe vpon the said indictments And this by the equitie of the statute of Anno vndecimo Henrici septimi the which will that no man be admitted to passe in anie inquest in London in a plée of lands or other action in which the damages shall passe the value of fourtie shillings except he be woorth in lands or goods the value of an hundred markes line 60 On saturdaie the second of Maie in this ninth yeare all the commissioners with the lord maior aldermen and iustices went to the Guildhall where manie of the offendors were indicted as well of the insurrection as of the robberies by them committed against the truces Herevpon they were arreigned pleading not guiltie had day giuen till monday next insuing On which daie being the fourth of Maie the lord maior the duke of Norffolke the earle of Surrie and others came to sit in the Guildhall to procéed in their oier and terminer as they were appointed When the lords were set the prisoners were brought through the stréets tied in ropes some men and some lads of thirtéene yéeres of age Among them were diuerse not of the citie some priests some husbandmen and labourers The whole number amounted vnto two hundred thrée score and eightéene persons This daie was Iohn Lincolne indicted as a principall procurer of this mischieuous insurrection and therevpon hée was arreigned and pleading not giltie had daie giuen ouer till wednesdaie or as Hall saith till thursday next insuing He was charged with such matter as before ye haue heard concerning his sute vnto doctor Standish and doctor Bele for the reading of this bill in their sermons and opening the matter as before ye haue heard all which matter with the circumstances he had confessed on sundaie the third of Maie vnto sir Richard Cholmleie sir Iohn Dansie sir Hugh Skeuington Diuers other were indicted this mondaie and so for that time the lords departed The next daie the duke came againe the erle of Surrie with 2000 armed men which kept the stréets When the maior the duke the earles of Shrewesburie and Surrie were set the prisoners were arreigned and thirtéene found guiltie and adiudged to be hanged drawne and quartered For execution whereof were set vp eleuen paire of gallowes in diuerse places where the offenses were doone as at Algate at Blanchappelton Gratious stréete Leaden hall and before euerie counter one also at Newgate at saint Martins at Aldersgate and at Bishopsgate Then were the prisoners that were iudged brought to those places of execution and executed in most rigorous maner in the presence of the lord Edmund Howard son to the duke of Norffolke knight marshall who shewed no mercie but extreme crueltie to the poore yoonglings in their execution and likewise the dukes seruants spake manie opprobrious words some bad hang some bad draw some bad set the citie on fire but all was suffered On thursdaie the seuenth of Maie was Lincolne Shirwin and two brethren called Bets and diuerse other adiudged to die Then Lincolne said My lords I meant well for if you knew the mischiefe that is insued in this realme by strangers you would remedie it manie times I haue complained and then I was called a busie fellow now our Lord haue mercie on me They were laid on hardels drawne to the standard in Cheape and first was Iohn Lincolne executed And as the other had the ropes about their neckes there came a commandement from the king to respit the execution Then the people cried God saue the king and so was the oier and terminer deferred till another daie and the prisoners sent againe to ward the armed men departed out of London and all things set in quiet On the eleuenth daie of Maie the king came to his manor of Gréenwich where the recorder of London and diuerse aldermen came to speake with his grace and all ware gownes of blacke colour And when they perceiued the king comming out of his priuie chamber into his chamber of presence they knéeled downe and the recorder said Our most naturall benigne and souereigne lord we know well that your grace is displeased with vs of your citie of London for the great riot late doone we ascerteine your grace that none of vs nor no honest person were condescending to that enormitie and yet wée our wiues and children euerie houre lament that your fauour should be taken from vs. And forsomuch as light and idle persons were the dooers of the same we most humblie beséech your grace to haue mercie of vs for our negligence and compassion of the offendors for their offense and trespasse Trulie said the king you haue highlie displeased and offended vs and you ought to waile and be sorie for the same And where as you saie that you the substantiall persons were not consenting to the same it appeareth to the contrarie For you neuer mooued to let them nor stirred once to fight with them which you say were so small a number of light persons Wherefore we must thinke and you can not denie that you did winke at the matter but at this time we will grant to you neither our fauour nor good will nor to the offendors mercie but resort to the cardinall our lord chancellour and he shall make you an answer and declare our pleasure And with this answer line 10 the Londoners departed and made relation to the maior On the eightéenth day of this moneth the quéene of Scots which had béene at the court and at Bainards

his fréedome and libertie in the citie of London By whiâ—h act the strangers were so brideled that they came to a reasonable point and conclusion In this season the angell noble was iust the sixt part of an ounce Troie so that six angels were iust an ounce which was fourtie shillings sterling the angell was worth two ounces of siluer so that six angels were worth twelue ounces which was but fourtie shillings in siluer By reason of the good weight and low valuation of the English coine merchants dailie carried ouer great store bicause the same was much inhanced there So that to méet with this inconuenience in September proclamation was made through all England that the angell should go for seuen shillings foure pence the roiall for eleuen shillings the crowne for foure shillings foure pence On the fift of Nouember following by proclamation againe the angell was inhanced to seuen shillings six pence and so euerie ounce of gold should be fiue and fourtie shillings and an ounce of siluer at thrée shillings and nine pence in value The king kept a solemne Christmasse at Gréenewich with reuelles maskes disguisings bankets and the thirtith daie of December was an enterprise line 10 of iusts made at the tilt by six gentlemen against all commers which valiantlie furnished the same both with speare and sword and like iusts were kept the third daie of Ianuarie where were thrée hundred speares broken That same night the king and manie yoong gentlemen with him came to Bridewell and there put him and fiftéene other all in masking apparell and then tooke his barge and rowed to the cardinals place where were at supper a great companie of lords and ladies and then the maskers dansed line 20 and made goodlie pastime and when they had well dansed the ladies plucked awaie their

ambassadour from the emperour put it to the kings determination whether his demands which he required of the French king line 30 were reasonable or not This noble man tarried here two yéeres ¶ This Christmasse was a goodlie disguising plaied at Graies In which was compiled for the most part by maister Iohn Roo sergeant at the law manie yeares past and long before the cardinall had any authoritie The effect of the play was that lord gouernance was ruled by dissipation and negligence by whose misgouernance and euill order ladie publike weale was put from gouernance which caused rumor populi inward grudge and disdaine line 40 of wanton souereignetie to rise with a great multitude to expell negligence and dissipation and to restore publike welth againe to hir estate which was so doone This plaie was so set foorth with rich and costlie apparell with strange deuises of maskes morrishes that it was highlie praised of all men sauing of the cardinall which imagined that the play had beene deuised of him and in a great furie sent for the said maister Roo and tooke from him his coife and sent him to line 50 the Fléet and after he sent for the yoong gentlemen that plaied in the plaie and them highlie rebuked and threatned and sent one of them called Thomas Moile of Kent to the Fléet but by means of friends maister Roo and he were deliuered at last This plaie sore displeased the cardinall and yet it was neuer meant to him as you haue heard Wherfore manie wisemen grudged to sée him take it so hartilie and euer the cardinall said that the king was highlie displeased with it and spake nothing of himselfe But what will you haue of a guiltie conscience but to suspect line 60 all things to be said of him as if all the world knew his wickednesse according to the old verse

ambassadours from the French king They were lodged in Tailors hall On Shrouetuesdaie the king himselfe in a new harnesse all gilt of a strange fashion that had not béene seene and with him eight gentlemen all in cloth of gold of one sute embrodered with knots of siluer and the marques of Excester and eight with him in blew veluet and white sattin like the waues of the sea these men of armes came to the tilt and there ran manie fresh courses till two hundred fourescore and six speares were broken and then they disarmed and went to the quéenes chamber where for them was prouided a costlie banket The French ambassadours sued as was said to haue the ladie Marie daughter to the K. of England giuen in mariage to the duke of Orleance second sonne to their master the French king but that matter was put in suspense for diuerse considerations And one was for that the president of Paris doubted whether the mariage betweene the king and hir mother she being his brothers wife was lawfull or not ¶ While the French ambassadors laie thus in London it happened one euening as they were comming from the Blacke friers from supper to the Tailors hall two boies were in a gutter casting downe rubbish which the raine had driuen there and vnwares hit a lackeie belonging to the vicount of Thurane and hurt him nothing for scantlie touched it his cote But the French lords tooke the matter highlie as a thing doone in despite sent word to the cardinall Who being too hastie of credence sent for sir Thomas Seimor knight lord maior of the citie and in all hast commanded him vpon his allegiance to take the husband wife children and seruants of the house and them to imprison till he knew further of the kings pleasure and that the two boies apprentises should be sent to the Tower which commandement was accomplished without anie fauor For the man and his wife and seruants were kept in the counter till the sixt daie of Maie which was six wéekes full and their neighbours of gentlenesse kept their house in the meane time and one of the apprentises died in the Tower and the other was almost lame Of the crueltie of the cardinall and of the pride of the Frenchmen much people spake would haue béene reuenged on the Frenchmen if wise men in the citie had not appeased it with faire words On the foureteenth daie of March were conueied from London to Gréenwich by the earle of

safetie in our sauiour Iesu Christ which is the verie true safetie Where of late there is risen a great controuersie of great difficultie vpon the marriage betweene the most noble Henrie the eight king of England defendor of the faith and lord of Ireland c and the noble ladie Katharine quéene of England daughter to the catholike king Ferdinand which marriage was not onelie contract betwéene hir and hir former husband but also consummate and finished by carnall intermedling This question also was proposed to vs to discusse and examine according to iustice and truth that is to saie Whether to marrie hir that one brother dead without children hath left being so prohibited by the law of God and nature that it can not be lawfull by the popes dispensation that any christian man shuld marrie the wife that his brother hath left We the foresaid deane and facultie calling to our remembrance how vertuous and how holie a thing and how agréeable to our profession vnto our dutie of loue and charitie it is for vs to shew the waie of iustice and right of vertue and honestie to them which desire to lead and passe ouer their life in the law of our Lord with suâ—e and quiet conscience could not but be readie to satisfie so honest and iust requests wherevpon after our old woont we came togither vpon our oth in the church of S. Maturine and there for the same cause had a solemne masse with deuout praier to the Holie-ghost And also we tooke an oth euerie man to deliuer and to studie vpon the foresaid question as should be to the pleasure of God according to conscience And after diuerse manie sessions or sittings which were had and continued in the church of saint Maturine and also in the college called Sorbon from the eight daie of Iune to the second daie of Iulie when we had searched and examined through and through with as much diligence as we could and with such reuerence and religion or conscience as becommeth in such a matter â—oth the bookes of holie scripture and also the most approoued interpretors of the same finallie the generall and synodall councels decrées and constitutions of the sacre and holie church which by long custome hath béene receiued and approbate We the foresaid deane and facultie disputing vpon the foresaid question and making answer to the same and that after the iudgement and full consent of the most part of the said facultie haue concluded and determined that the foresaid marriage with the brothers wife departing without children be so forbidden both by the law of God of nature that the pope hath no power to dispense with such mariages whether they be contract or to be contract And for credence beléefe and witnesse of this our assertion and determination we haue caused the seale of our facultie with our notaries signe to be put vnto this present writing Dated in our generall congregation that we kéepe by an oth at saint Maturines the yeare of our Lord 1530 the second daie of Iulie The determination of the vniuersitie of Burges in Berrie or Biturs WE the deane and facultie of diuinitie in the vniuersitie of Burges bicause we will doo according to the example of S. Paule doctor of the gentiles which dooth likewise will begin our writing with praier for all the belooued of God among whome you most deare readers vnto whome we write be called grace peace and quietnesse of conscience come to you from God the father and from our Lord Iesu Christ. While we were gathered together all into one place in the octaues of Whitsuntide both in bodie and mind and were sitting in the house of the said deane there was a question put to vs againe which had beene proposed to vs oftentimes before being no small question which was this Whether the brother taking the wife of his brother now dead and the marriage once consummate and perfect dooth a thing vnlawfull or no At the last when we had sought for the truth of the thing and had perceiued and found it out by much labour line 10 and studie of euerie one of vs by himselfe and by much and often turning of holie bookes euerie one of vs not corrupt whereby we might the lesse obeie the truth began as the holie ghost did put in his mind to giue euerie man one arbitrement and sentence which was this I haue well perceiued in verie truth without regard or respect of anie person that those persons which be rehearsed in the 18 chapter of the Leuiticall law be forbidden by the verie law of nature to contract matrimonie togither and line 20 that this law can in no wise be released by anie authoritie of anie man by the which there is made an abhominable discouering of his brothers foulenesse And this is the signe of our common bedell or notarie and the seale of our foresaid facultie put vnto this present writing the 10 daie of Iune in the yeare of our Lord 1530. And bicause the foot of our writing shall be of one forme and fashion with the head as we began with praier so let vs end after the example of S. Paule that we spake of before and saie line 30 the grace and fauour of our Lord Iesu Christ the charitie and loue of God and the communication of the holie ghost be with you all Amen The determination of the diuines in the popes vniuersitie of Bononie GOD best and mightiest taught first the old law and testament with his owne mouth to forme and fashion according to loue and charitie the maners line 40 and life of men And secondarilie the same God did take afterwards manhood vpon him for to be the redéemer of man and so made the new law or new testament not onlie to forme and fashion according to loue and charitie the life and maners of men but also to take awaie and to declare doubts the which did arise in manie cases which when they be once cléerelie determined shall helpe greatlie to perfect vertue and goodnesse that is to saie to perfect loue and charitie line 50 Wherefore we thought it euermore that it should be our part to follow these most holie doctrines and lawes of our father of heauen and that we lightned by the light of God aboue of the holie ghost should giue our sentence and iudgement in high and doubtfull matters after that we haue once leisurelie and sufficientlie taken aduisement vpon the cause and haue cleerelie searched out and opened the thing by many reasons and writings of holie fathers as well for the one part as for the other dooing nothing as line 60 néere as we can rashlie or without deliberation Therefore where certeine great and noble men did instantlie desire vs that we would with all diligence possible looke for this case that after insueth afterwards to giue our iudgement vpon the same according to most equitie right and conscience sticking onelie to the truth All the
